1 Taking the next steps n establishing a Task Frce n Displacement Draft TOR, Draft Letter f Invitatin, and Ptential Recipients 1. Draft TOR fr the Task Frce n Displacement Backgrund and Mandate f the Task Frce n Displacement The Cnference f the Parties, in para 49 f the Decisin 1/CP.21, requested the Executive Cmmittee f the Warsaw Internatinal Mechanism t establish, accrding t its prcedures and mandate, a task frce t cmplement, draw upn the wrk f and invlve, as apprpriate, existing bdies and expert grups under the Cnventin including the Adaptatin Cmmittee and the Least Develped Cuntries Expert Grup, as well as relevant rganizatins and expert bdies utside the Cnventin, t develp recmmendatins fr integrated appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change. In accrdance with this request, the Executive Cmmittee (ExCm) f the Warsaw Internatinal Mechanism (WIM), at its secnd meeting in February 2016, agreed upn a draft radmap and first steps t establish the Task Frce. The draft radmap prvides that the Task Frce meets fr the first time in the secnd half f 2016 and envisages clse linkages between the wrk f the Task Frce and Actin Area 6a f the initial tw-year wrkplan f the ExCm apprved by Decisin 2/CP.20. In guiding the implementatin f the functins f the WIM n this issue, Actin Area 6 f the initial wrk plan aims at enhancing the understanding f and expertise n hw the impacts f climate change are affecting patterns f migratin, displacement and human mbility; and the applicatin f such understanding and expertise, and envisages the ExCm t invite relevant rganizatins and experts t prvide scientific infrmatin n prjected migratin and displacement based n prjected climate and nn-climate related impacts in vulnerable ppulatins. The wrk under Actin Area 6 and the Task Frce shall mutually benefit each ther. Mst imprtantly, the radmap prvides that the ExCm specifies the cncrete tasks in line with the mandate f the Task Frce t develp recmmendatins fr integrated appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change and with the functins f the WIM as utlined in Decisin 2/CP.19, namely (1) enhancing knwledge and understanding f cmprehensive risk management appraches; (2) strengthening dialgue, crdinatin, cherence and Cmment [A1]: Accrding t Dc. FCCC/CP/2015/10/Add.1 f Jan 29, 2016 Deleted: COP 21 Cmment [A2]: Frm my pint f view, it is very imprtant t refer t existing bdies in rder t ensure the 2 nd functin f the WIM Strengthening dialgue, crdinatin, cherence and synergies amng relevant stakehlders. I think the meetings can be arranged in a manner t alleviate yur cncerns. Cmment [A3]: This pint abut use f existing bdies appears t many times. A bit repetitius. Besides the repetitin, care needs t be taken with linking the Task Frce n Displacement (TFD) with existing bdies under the UNFCCC. Drawing upn shuld nt becme paramunt t nvelty. This is a new bdy f wrk fr the UNFCCC and while plicy cherence is useful, the TFD culd easily get bgged dwn in hearing reprt f ther institutins under the UNFCCC. Every effrt must be made t ensure that the TFD develps its wn mandate and prgramme f wrk and nt becme a vessel r repsitry fr learning what thers are ding. Climate change displacement is a new discipline f wrk. While it has sme links t existing wrk n refugees, it is distinctly unique and shuld be treated as such. Deleted: Deleted: 6 Deleted: while Actin Area 6a Deleted: While Actin Area 6 can cntribute t the wrk f the Task Frce, it shuld be clear that the Task Frce has a brader mandate created by decisin 1/CP.21 Page 1

2 synergies amng relevant stakehlders; and (3) enhancing actin and supprt, including finance, technlgy and capacity building. The Terms f Reference at hand utline the scpe f wrk and cncrete activities f the Task Frce n Displacement. Scpe f Wrk In rder t fulfill its mandate t develp recmmendatins fr integrated appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change, the Task Frce n Displacement shall: Ensure that recmmendatins build n the latest science, mst recent evidence, findings and experience (including research, best practices, data, etc.); Ensure that recmmendatins cmplement and draw upn the wrk f existing bdies, expert grups and prgrammes under the Cnventin including the Adaptatin Cmmittee (AC), the Least Develped Cuntries Expert Grup (LEG), the Nairbi Wrk Prgram (NWP), the Standing Cmmittee f Finance (SCF), and the Green Climate Fund (GCF if applicable), as well as relevant rganizatins and expert bdies utside the Cnventin t avid duplicatin f wrk; In particular, draw frm insights develped by the Agenda fr the prtectin f crss-brder displaced persns in the cntext f disasters and climate change develped by the Nansen Initiative and endrsed by the gvernments f mre than 100 cuntries; Invlve existing bdies and expert grups in- and utside the Cnventin in the develpment f recmmendatins cnsidering the catalytic rle f the Cnventin and the mandates f ther UN and inter-gvernmental rganizatins, especially f the UNHCR and IOM; Serve as a space where the parties can articulate their questins and needs related t human displacement and mbility related t the adverse effects f climate change; Signal identified needs t scientific and technical cmmunities t stimulate wrk utside the Cnventin t enhance understanding n the tpic; Prvide recmmendatins which help Parties structure and design measures t avert, minimize, and address human displacement; Page 2 Deleted: and Deleted: build upn and advance the Cmment [A4]: I suggest t keep it in the main text with the prpsed adjustments: frm my pint f view Draw frm insights weakens the statement in rder nt t prejudge any utcme. Further, the mandate f the task frce explicitly says draw upn the wrk f and invlve, as apprpriate, existing bdies and expert grups. The implementatin f the Prtectin Agenda is the mst relevant prcess utside f UNFCCC fr the wrk n displacement assciated with the impacts f climate change. Therefre, I think this reference is imprtant here in rder t make clear, that the task frce will cntribute t the secnd functin f the WIM see in particular 2/CP.19 para 5 (b ii) - and nt duplicate the nging wrk utside f UNFCCC. Cmment [A5]: One f the gals f the task frce, as stated in the TOR, is t serve as a space fr Parties t articulate their needs. This is nt yet reflected in the suggested wrk plan. Perhaps an initial cnsultatin with Parties (WIM Excm?) culd replace the mapping exercise as task 1 f the task frce? Included in Task 3. Deleted: p Deleted: climate risk management strategies and

3 Identify legal and institutinal challenges fr managing migratin under climate change in the near-, mid- and lng-term and prvide recmmendatins n hw t address these challenges. Cnsider the integratin f averting, minimizing and addressing displacement int climate change, develpment and migratin plicies; In carrying ut the wrk the Task Frce, cnsider the functins f the WIM as utlined in Decisin 2/CP.19, namely (1) enhancing knwledge and understanding f cmprehensive risk management appraches; (2) strengthening dialgue, crdinatin, cherence and synergies amng relevant stakehlders; and (3) enhancing actin and supprt, including finance, technlgy and capacity building. Activities, Deliverables and suggested Timeframe The Task Frce n Displacement, in accrdance with its mandate, shall cnduct the fllwing activities. A first meeting f the Task Frce is envisaged fr the secnd half f 2016 (preferably in July 2016 in rder t enable first actin befre COP 22 in Nvember 2016). Activities & Deliverables 1 With the assistance f the Secretariat, cnduct a mapping f existing infrmatin, mandates, activities and initiatives t enhance plicy crdinatin, facilitate dialgue and knwledge sharing as well as t identify future needs and actin based n the invitatin t rganizatins. A mapping that includes: The mandates, activities, and knwledge sharing platfrms f UN agencies, internatinal and reginal rganizatins; The activities and initiatives f civil sciety and nngvernmental rganizatins; Relevant activities and plicies f Parties t the UNFCCC; Relevant bilateral and reginal (i.e. supra-natinal) 1 plicies and agreements (such as the Kampala Cnventin). A review f relevant academic papers relating t legal appraches t address climate change displacement. A review f the Guiding Principles n Internal Displacement 2 1 Reginal refers t the supra-natinal level thrughut the whle dcument. Timeframe Infrmatin paper by Secretariat fr 1 st TF meeting Finalize brief reprt after 1 st Task Frce Meeting and present it at ExCm 4 in September 2016 Cmment [A6]: This pint is useful, but perhaps a little t limited. This element has the ptential t deliver the greatest utcme fr the TFD. Therefre, it culd be revised t say: Identify and develp new legal and institutinal arrangements fr addressing human displacement and mbility related t the impacts f climate change, including displacement and mbility internally and acrss brders. Cmment [A7]: I think, identifying and develping new legal and institutinal arrangements wuld be t preemptive. The recmmendatins by the TFD shuld be discussed by the parties first. Parties have a say in cnsidering such a mandate. Deleted: Regard Deleted: mainstreaming and Deleted: human mbility issues Deleted: as a key issue fr the recmmendatins Deleted: C Deleted: ; and ensure that recmmendatins are in line with and accmplish these functins Cmment [A8]: Culd this als include an explratin f the needs f thse wh will experience displacement.

The needs fr sme displaced because f drught in Ethipia r Sudan and find themselves in a refugee camp in Kenya are different than a Bangladeshi day laburer wh mves t Dhaka t becme a rickshaw walla because salinizatin has made rice prductin impssible adn this is different than the experience f smene in a Pacific SIDS wh relcates t New Zealand because f castal ersin and sea level rise. It wuld be gd t acknwledge the needs directly frm thse mst affected by displacement. Briefly included under 3. Cmment [A9]: In rder t reduce the wrklad f the task frce and kick-start the prcess mst efficiently, perhaps the Secretariat culd cnduct such a mapping exercise?... Deleted: M Cmment [A13]: Feasibility needs t be checked with Secretariat Cmment [A10]: There is quite a bdy f wrk in this area Page 3

The wrkplan f the Task Frce may include the fllwing, specific activities: a) Cnsidering existing knwledge sharing platfrms (such as the Glbal Knwledge Partnership n Migratin and Develpment (KNOMAD), the UN Advisry Grup n Climate Change and Human Mbility, and the Envirnmental Migratin Prtal) prvide recmmendatins, hw the UNFCCC (via the WIM) can enhance and facilitate knwledge sharing while aviding duplicatin. Recmmendatins (e.g. in frm f a brief reprt) t enhance and facilitate knwledge sharing incl. recmmendatins n Tbd in the detailed wrkplan Infrmatin sharing f best practices and latest research Access t existing guidance, prjects and initiatives in- and utside the UNFCCC Cncrete instruments/tls hw infrmatin sharing is facilitated (e.g. thrugh the establishment f a webpage, thrugh wrkshps, etc.). Cmment [A8]: Culd this als include an explratin f the needs f thse wh will experience displacement. Culd the task frce smehw cnvene a rundtable that brings tgether peple wh have experienced displacement in a variety f cntexts. The needs fr sme displaced because f drught in Ethipia r Sudan and find themselves in a refugee camp in Kenya are different than a Bangladeshi day laburer wh mves t Dhaka t becme a rickshaw walla because salinizatin has made rice prductin impssible adn this is different than the experience f smene in a Pacific SIDS wh relcates t New Zealand because f castal ersin and sea level rise. It wuld be gd t acknwledge the needs directly frm thse mst affected by displacement. Briefly included under 3. Cmment [A11]: We shuld be cautius abut hw far we g in the identificatin f gaps in existing UNFCCC institutins. We may want t cnsider letting the TFD develp its wn wrk and if there is a perceptin f verlap, then this can be addressed. The cncern is that if the TFD ges int a full assessment f existing prcesses, it culd get buried in ding this. Cmment [A12]: It is just a brief reprt summarizing the results f the mapping under AA 6a. This shuld be feasible with the assistance f the Secretariat.

D we need t be s specific? Cmment [A15]: We shuld select experts fr the TFD wh d nt get cnfused t quickly. 2 See E/CN.4/1998/53/Add.2 Page 4

5 Activities & Deliverables b) Interactin with parties t give them the pprtunity t articulate their questins and needs; c) Develp guidance and recmmendatins fr integrated appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change fr different levels (subnatinal, natinal, reginal, internatinal), inter alia by cnsidering the nging effrts t implement the Prtectin Agenda develped by the Nansen Initiative. Guidelines fr (tbd by the Task Frce based n the mapping and identificatin f gaps) The LEG in rder t integrate displacement int the NAP and ther mainstreaming prcesses; The AC n hw t prvide technical supprt and guidance n human displacement t the Parties; The NWP n hw t integrate displacement int vulnerability and risk assessments; The GCF in rder t demnstrate hw prjects culd cnsider aviding, minimizing and addressing displacement and migratin, and hw planned migratin can cntribute t transfrmatin and generate c-benefits fr resilience. d) Latest climate science, including the fifth assessment reprt f the IPCC, indicates that displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change is primarily internal (displacement within a cuntry) r reginal (crss-brder displacement t neighbring cuntries, but nt internatinal crssing several brders), develp recmmendatins n hw the UNFCCC (via the WIM) can enhance cperatin e.g. with existing reginal rganizatins wrking in the field f displacement and facilitate reginal appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement.

7 Members f the Task Frce n Displacement shall initially serve fr a term f tw years. An extensin f the Task Frce may be cnsidered by the ExCm. The Task Frce has an advisry rle and perates under the guidance f the ExCm. Budget is nly prvided t supprt travel and subsistence allwance, but nt t cmpensate fr time and effrt. The preferred mde f wrk is electrnic (e.g. via , telecnferences) and inter-sessinal. It is suggested that the members f the Task Frce meet face-t-face at least nce per year. Representatives f the Task Frce shall be represented at each ExCm meeting. Reprting The Task Frce regularly reprts t and clsely crdinates its wrk with the ExCm. Reprts f the Task Frce will be a standing agenda item f ExCm meetings, which take place at least twice a year, and which can be adjusted flexibly, as apprpriate. Page 7

8 2. Draft Letter f Invitatin t ptential members f the Task Frce (ExCm letter head) Dear XXX, On behalf f the Executive Cmmittee f the Warsaw Internatinal Mechanism fr Lss and Damage, we are pleased t invite [yu/rganizatin/unfccc bdy] [t jin/t supprt] the Task Frce n Displacement t develp recmmendatins fr integrated appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change. The Cnference f the Parties (COP), at its nineteenth sessin, established the Warsaw Internatinal Mechanism t address lss and damage assciated with the adverse effects f climate change thrugh its three main functins: enhancing knwledge and understanding f cmprehensive risk management appraches; strengthening dialgue, crdinatin, cherence and synergies amng relevant stakehlders; and enhancing actin and supprt, including finance, technlgy and capacity building. The Executive Cmmittee (ExCm) was established in rder t guide the implementatin f functins f the Warsaw Internatinal Mechanism. Cmment [A27]: It might make sense t develp tw letters: ne fr the rganizatin selected t be part f the task frce (and ne fr ther rganizatin t ask their availability t be part n a rster f experts t be called in when needed). I think it makes sense t select rganizatins fr the task frce instead f waiting t see wh is interested. A letter fr rganizatins invited t be part f the rster f experts requires minr changes (see suggestins in track changes). Hwever, it culd be cnsidered if inviting additinal rganizatins/experts fr specific tasks shuld nt be the task f the Task Frce at a later stage. COP 21, in para 49 f the Decisin, requested the Executive Cmmittee f the Warsaw Internatinal Mechanism t establish, accrding t its prcedures and mandate, a task frce t cmplement, draw upn the wrk f and invlve, as apprpriate, existing bdies and expert grups under the Cnventin including the Adaptatin Cmmittee and the Least Develped Cuntries Expert Grup, as well as relevant rganizatins and expert bdies utside the Cnventin, t develp recmmendatins fr integrated appraches t avert, minimize and address displacement related t the adverse impacts f climate change. In this cntext, the ExCm invites experts n displacement, internatinal rganizatins and bdies under the United Natins Framewrk Cnventin n Climate Change (UNFCCC) [t serve as r assign members f the Task Frce n Displacement, initially fr a term f tw years/t supprt the Task Frce n Displacement n request]. The Annex t this letter cntains the Terms f Reference fr the Task Frce that yu may find helpful in cnsidering the abve invitatin by the ExCm. We are happy t answer any questins yu may have cnsidering this invitatin and lk frward t receiving yur respnse by [date]. [Signature] Page 8

9 3. Ptential Recipients/Experts n Displacement a) Cnsideratins n the cmpsitin and size f the Task Frce In rder t ensure an peratinal Task Frce, it is suggested that the Task Frce cnsists f a maximum f 12 members. The Task Frce culd, if needed, draw n additinal experts with specific requests. Accrding t the COP decisin, the Task Frce shuld invlve, as apprpriate, existing bdies and expert grups under the Cnventin including the Adaptatin Cmmittee and the Least Develped Cuntries Expert Grup, as well as relevant rganizatins and expert bdies utside the Cnventin. Cnsidering the decisin, it is suggested that the Task Frce is cmpsed f inter-gvernmental bdies (UNFCCC and ther UN/internatinal rganizatins) as well as experts representing academic, civil sciety, plitical and peratinal/practical rganizatins. The Task Frce wuld thus functin as an advisry grup, in which inter-gvernmental bdies as well as experts n displacement are well represented. Additinally, it may be cnsidered t ensure a balanced reginal representatin. b) Suggestins fr ptential Recipients/Experts t be invlved UNFCCC bdies t be represented: Adaptatin Cmmittee (AC) Least Develpment Cuntry Expert Grup (LEG) Lss & Damage Executive Cmmittee (ExCm) Nairbi Wrk Prgramme (NWP ptinal) Green Climate Fund (GCF - ptinal) Organizatins utside UNFCCC t be represented: UN Advisry Grup n Climate Change and Human Mbility (cntact: Marine Franck) United Natins High Cmmissiner fr Refugees (UNHCR) Cmment [A28]: It will be difficult t ensure reginal balance, gender balance, and adequate expertise with nly 10 members.
